In a pre-dawn missile attack on Kyiv, Ukraine, at least one civilian was killed and four others were injured, causing fires in the city. Ukrainian officials reported powerful explosions around 4:30 a.m. local time, with air defenses attempting to thwart the attacks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the “Russian terror” and called for unity to end the war, accusing Russian President Vladimir Putin of continuing to kill Ukrainians and destroy cities.
Prospects for peace negotiations have increased following contact between President Donald Trump, Kyiv, and Putin, with talks planned between Kyiv and U.S. officials. Ukraine’s air force successfully shot down six out of seven ballistic missiles and 71 out of 123 drones launched in the attack, using electronic countermeasures against others.
The attack resulted in one civilian death and injuries to four others, including a 9-year-old child. Local officials reported damage to critical infrastructure and injuries in the northern region of Chernihiv. Photos shared by emergency services showed rescuers extinguishing fires in the aftermath of the attack. Zelenskyy urged the international community to take action against Russia’s aggression and support Ukraine in defending against further attacks.
